Someone here mentioned the Charmin Bears as part of the Greatest Mascots of all time discussion. Who are the ones typically thought of as GMOAT candidates? I genuinely don't know.

Candidates include the Pillsbury Dough Boy, Ronald McDonald, Bibendum (The Michelin Man), the Trix Rabbit, Tony the Tiger as mentioned above, Kool-Aid Man, Aunt Jemima, and Uncle Ben.

Honorable mentions may go to Choo-choo Charlie (former mascot for Good n’ Plenty) and the Hawaiian Punch guy, as they didn’t have the longevity of some of the others.

Listed with an asterisk: Santa Claus for Coca-Cola.

(Also I recognize that my list is very America-centric. I don’t know too many advertising mascots from other countries, because I didn’t grow up there.)

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
